Making Water slides in Minecraft

I recently discovered that it is possible to make a water slide in Minecraft.  If you make a boat in the game, you can ride on the water with it and it is extremely buoyant, even if you start in your boat at the bottom of a lake, it will float up at a very fast rate to the surface, at which point it jumps about 5 or 6 feet above the surface.  If you make a waterfall somewhere, boats will also shoot to the top of those as well.  Anywhere there is water, the boat will get to the top of it.
After having discovered this, i began construction of my water slide by putting water on hills and have the boat flow down with the rivers.  When i get too low, i make a waterfall that shoots me up and i can then continue downwards, following a river.  This process can be looped so the slide never ends.
